Wandering Monk Kimono – Ethical Artwear in Motion
Made to fit you.
Leave your sizing notes at checkout — we’ll refine your order before it ships.
The Wandering Monk Kimono was born from a collaboration across continents: envisioned in California, inspired by Bali, and infused with the spirit of a sketch that journeyed from Russia to Rwanda to the U.S. Now, that sacred art lives on in cloth.
Made from soft, breathable rayon with a graceful drape, this unisex kimono features a striking black and white illustration that honors tradition, travel, and transformation. The generous hood adds a sense of quiet strength, while the silhouette invites movement—made for women and wanderers alike.
Each piece is made to order, slowly and with care, as a wearable reminder that beauty doesn’t rush. Designed by Glorka, Violetta (@next_level_people), and artist Svetlana of FLO Art, the Wandering Monk Kimono reflects a commitment to craftsmanship, cultural storytelling, and soulful design.
Whether layered over swimwear in Bali, paired with linen pants in California, or worn barefoot on your own sacred path, this is a garment that carries meaning—and brings it with you.
